Cresswell is looking forward to play with former City right-back Zabaleta. He hopes that West Ham will profit from his experience.
Cresswell said: "His quality is there for all to see, so he is a great addition to the squad." Cresswell was picked for the England squad and he played his first game against France earlier this month.
Zabaleta will officially join West Ham this Saturday and he will sign a two-year deal. With his winning mentality, the Argentina international might help his new team.
"Pablo will not only make his presence felt on the pitch but his experience will rub off on the young lads around the training ground", Crosswell added.
